The oil that comes in those Chinese forks is just cooking oil, I swear. When I took mine out I could smell what smells like burned vegetable oil when you leave a pot of it on the stove until it's all gone. Makes such a huge difference, even if you don't change the level at all, just put some...

Hi all, just wondering what the most likely culprit in a YX150 engine would be for making a ticking noise, would it be likely to be the cam chain slapping or the big end bearing on the conrod? A mate with a big screwdriver used as a bush-mechanics stethoscope decided it sounded like it was...

Tight, but not so tight it snaps? Don't know exact torque settings for this engine but your arm is a better torque wrench anyway if you can feel when a bolt is going to snap. Just seat the nut fully and give it another 45 - 60 degree turn after it has seated, warm up and check that its still...

Shared oil pan.

Well, nothing WRONG with it, I just felt with my bike 7.5W would hold the forks a bit higher in the stroke, get just a touch too much sag with the 5W, and seeing as there's no other way to adjust it, heavier oil is the go, screwing with the oil to air ratio by taking out oil will not help the...

15 weight engine oil is about equivalent to 0W fork oil. Different viscosity ratings for the oil. Don't use engine oil in your forks, get some Motorex Racing Fork Oil 7.5W, as its actual viscosity rating is about 35 cSt at 40degrees celsius, about the weight you are after in a pit bike...

Does anyone know whether a set of triple clamps / forks / wheel from a KX 65 / RM 65 would fit in the frame from an Atomik Bigfoot? My uncle's little 125's forks are stuffed, been told you can put a KX 65 front end on it, including the wheel as the forks are wider, just looking for...

My mate has a DHZ 150 and a motovert 125, I've got an atomik 140, atomik 250 and another real crap atomik 125. The motovert has the smoothest motor of all of them, and is still powerful enough for you to just twist the throttle more once you build some confidence back. Thing I like about...

It seems to be OK now after a clean with camera film. . . So is 150ml about the right amount of oil to chuck back in? It lost a LOT of oil before I fixed it, so a complete refill is on the cards for sure.

OK, so I just broke a camera and did what you said. I had tried cleaning them with a $20 note before, just wasn't told to jump up and down on the forks, hope that worked with the camera film, but regardless, if anyone knows which brand fork seals and what size they are I'd still really like...

Hi, I have an Atomik 140 Bigfoot, left fork has lost almost all its oil to a leaky fork seal, can anyone help me find where to get fork seals to fit? All atomik say about them is "740mm USD forks", no mention whatsoever of brand. Going to get some DNM hornets later on anyway, so please...

hey mate any chance you have a link to where to get fork seals for these from? My atomik bigfoot has a leaking fork seal, and the ****wit at the bike shop told me I'd have to buy a whole new set of forks.. Yeah right buddy, thanks for trying to up your sale another $200 for no reason. Can't...

Hi, Got a couple of atomiks with the exact same problems, my bigfoot 140 and my uncles 125, the rear brake calipers are just rattling away and making the pads contact the rotor while moving, all bolts are tight on the caliper, dunno what could be making this happen, anyone have any ideas? I...
